| Name | Brooklynn A |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | We heard a rustling sound but never a boom. Our dog barked at it strangely enough (at the sky.) That’s what made us look up. It seems to burn out right in front of us. There were drones (possibly Ft Knox) above us at the time if it helps. They seemed to actually be above the elevation of this sighting. |
